Wen - July Chat 2016

[ Edited ]

 

Hi everyone!! I hope you all are having a wenderful summer!! Smiley Happy 

 

Chaz really pulled out all the stops for June Wen Gallons month and offered a lot of crazy good One Day Only (ODO) Wen values!!! Thanks Chaz, you're always trying to give Wenners the very best values!!!

 

wendooters deserves a big Andes mints bushel & WVM gallons of thanks. His steadfast sleuthing gave us all sorts of advance info on these great Wen ODOs. He even took time off from his birthday festivities to help us all out. Happy BIrthday, Wen Dooters!! 

 

--

 

If you missed the Wen ODOs, a number of the Wen special values are still available. -- That said, if you are interested in purchasing them, then you may want to make your purchasing decisions soon. Some of them are sometimes only available for a short time after Chaz's visit. 

 

The June 2016 - Running Tally of Wen Gallons Ordered thread gives a day by day account of how many gallons were sold. -- At the end of the month at least 70,000 gallons were sold. Cucumber Aloe was the only formula that was sold out before the end of June.

 

--  

 

Wen September 23rd TSV -- "Chaz did mention on periscope that his TSV would be on September 23.  That his TSV is usually on Labor Day weekend, but not this year." -- Information courtesy of @LAMSin the Watching Chaz on periscope thread (message #12). ---- "Described September tsv as "sheer heaven" hmmm lol"  -- Information courtesy of @Curiousincali, in the Watching Chaz on periscope thread (message #6) ---- It's possible that Gina could have some Wen segments (or shows) in the interim, but there are no Wen shows listed in the July edition of InsideQ magazine.

 

InsideQ magazine -- subscribe to QVC's Insider for free and receive advance order numbers and information about upcoming TSVs (which almost always includes the Wen TSVs). -- The InsideQ magazine - The Insider - how to subscribe thread has more information about how to join. -- Set up your subscription now because it takes about two months to process subscriptions... and the September 23rd Wen TSV is less than three months away.

 

-- 

 

There's been a lot of new Wenformation discussed this past June. Below I've included some of the topics that seemed of particular interest. Thanks so much to @Philosophygirl23 @Suz585 @Curiousincali and @LAMS for sharing this great information with everyone:

 

* March 319 (or 613) TSV available again -- VERY LIMITED -- GREAT VALUE -- 32oz CC, 8oz NBT, 4oz RTM & 5oz SC -- $85.00 -- This former TSV is in the QVC product listings as of July 1st. -- Place your orders asap, because I doubt that it will be available for more than a few days. There's more information in the Wen - Alert - 319/613 March TSV avail - 8oz NBT, 32oz CC, 4oz RTM & 5oz SS - $85.00 thread.

 

* Flipping Out -- Beginning this July, Chaz & Team Wen are back on Flipping Out (a reality show on Bravo TV), as the Flipping Out team -- Jeff & Gage and Company -- does the construction work for Chaz's new Wen customer service offices.

 

Seasonals availability -- @Philosophygirl23 shared this information(from periscope) in the Wen - Seasonals speculation thread (message #44) -- "On Periscope yesterday Chaz confirmed that Fall Apple Spice, Winter Cranberry Mint and Spring Gardenia Green Tea would not be available at QVC but would be available on Chaz Dean web site. He wasn't sure which summer scent wouldn't come back yet, but thought it might be Summer Mango Coconut." 

 

Wen Gallons -- Chaz hinted that the 613 gallons, and probably Bamboo Green Tea (BGT) and Mandarin Italian Fig (MIF) gallons, would "be available in... [long pause] October."  He didn't mention if either the newer soy-based 319 gallons or the rice-based Fragrance Free (FF) gallons would be offered. -- Wen - Fall TSV may be Sept. 23 & 613, BGT, MIF gallons may be in October (first message)

 

Upcoming Seasonal Gallons -- "Details are not 100% final at this time, but it is planned to bring one Seasonal gallon back to QVC in each season for a very limited time. In Winter, that is planned to be the Winter Vanilla Mint for the Dec-Feb period. QVC plans are subject to change at any time without any notice however, and we do not have any control over that. What we can say now is that we do plan on having it back this Winter, but ultimately it is up to QVC. ~ Jillian" (from Chaz's facebook page) -- Information courtesy of @Suz585 -- Wen gallonpalooza schedule 5/29 - 6/30 per Dooters (message #116) 

 

Winter Vanilla Mint Seasonal Mousse & Styling Creme -- "FYI for WVM fans: heard chaz say on periscope he is working on styling cream and mousse." -- Information courtesy of @Curiousincali, in the WEN May Chat thread (message #131)

 

319/613 body/facial cleanser -- 319/613 body/face cleanser in October I think Chaz said..." -- Information courtesy of @Curiousincali, in the Watching Chaz on periscope thread (message #6)

 

Sunscreen -- "Chaz mentioned on Periscope, late last night [6/22] that the is working on a sunscreen.  He was wearing it at the beach this week, but it's not ready yet." -- Information courtesy of @LAMS, in the  WEN sunscreen thread (first message)

 

Rollerball fragrances -- "He is working on fragrance rollerballs saying it takes time and won't happen "overnight". -- Information courtesy of @Curiousincali, in the Watching Chaz on periscope thread (message #6)

 

Upcoming EDPs -- Light EDP (probably available this fall), information courtesy of @Kjelle ---- "Just putting it out there, that the packaging for the Light EDP sample says it will be available Sept 3rd and to "tune in" for it." Information courtesy of @jaxs mom (message #4 of this thread) ---- bebe777: I think the release day may have been pushed back to coincide with his likely changed Wen Fall TSV date which is on September 23rd. September 3rd is the Labor Day Saturday which is generally the date of Chaz's Fall TSVs. ---- "Chaz also said he gets his EDP bottles from France and they take 4 months or so to get, which also adds to the price, but it's better than getting them from China. He is working on Mandarin Italian Fig & Bamboo Green Tea EDPs and he is loving MIF EDP!" ---- Information courtesy of @Suz585, in the SHP & SMC EDPs sold alone next visit thread (first message)

FYI, these links (and a whole lot more) are in the Wen FAQ and Wen 101 threads listed below.

 

Have a wenderful July everyone!!! Smiley Happy

Welcome New Wenners!! 

 

 

This is a really fun place to hang out, ask any questions, learn more about Wen, and share the latest inside info. -- The Wen Abbreviations Glossary has a cheat cheat for all the Wen acronyms that we use. -- The How many pumps or how much WEN? thread gives some helpful suggestions. The use fewer pumps for 613 Cleansing Conditioner than for other CCs & suggested number of pumps to use thread has some good information as well, but it's an older thread and has incomplete information.

 

In this first message, I've tried to include a number of key links to topics that may be of interest to you. The Wen FAQ - the key Wen links thread offers streamlined links to a variety of Wen information, while the Wen 101 thread offers more comprehensive information (start with the Wen FAQ though, it's easier to navigate and parts of Wen 101 still need to be updated). 

 

We also use the monthly chat thread (Wen - July Chat 2016) for "live" chats during Chaz's and Gina's Wen shows on QVC. Feel free to join in these Wen show chats. It's a great way to get to know fellow Wenners and it's a lot of fun. 

 

 

Three extremely popular thread to have a look through are Hilary's What Cleansing Conditioner Did You Use Today? thread as well MissKlynn's What Wen products did you use up, or open this week? and Kjelle's What WEN Did You Buy This Week? thread. These threads have ongoing discussions about the Wen products people are using and how they're using these products. Especially for new Wenners, just reading these threads daily will give you a better handle on the best ways for you to use your Wen products. If you're really zealous, of course, you can read the whole thread! But, for most people, just reading the latest entries are enough.

 

 

Hilary's great Benefits of Oils and sonechko's great What is your Most Favorite Wen Oil? threads provide a lot of information about how to incorporate the oils into your Wen hair care routine. And Hilary's I Am Even More in Love With the Wen Oils!!! and the Treatment Oils in the Classic line - which oils have worked, and which haven't? threads have more great information. -- A lot of Wenners find that their hair really benefits from using the Wen Treatment Oils.

 

Thia-Winter's Wen what did you use for your deep treatment today? thread has a really interesting discussion of various hair treatments.

 

DrCEB's Any Women of Color WEN Users Out There? thread is a comprehensive info source. 

 

The Cleansing Conditioner Discovery Kits are a great way to try out Wen and the Wen TSVs going back to December 2009 provides information about the year round TSV schedule.

 

 

You can always call Chaz's salon at 323-467-6444 for any questions you have about your Wen products. Chaz Dean Salon customer info & links listed in QVC broadcasts has additional links to the websites where you can follow Chaz on social media. He even has a special wendooters horse -- who's a a former Wen model -- who helps us out from time to time. He's a whiz at using Siri on his iPad. There's a rumor that he can be bribed with peppermints and carrots!! 

 

 

A lot of Wenners have their own animal friends. SurfersWife and King Toby (her Wen doggie) started the WEN Pets thread where Wenners have shared stories and photos about their Wen pets. Please feel free to add your own Wen pets photos and stories... the more, the better and the merrier. Smiley Wink

 

 

For the past year and a half, Chaz has been streaming videos on periscope. It's a lot of fun to watch. Chaz's shares hair care tips and sometimes shares information (or hints) about upcoming new Wen products and TSVs. He also has videos of him working with clients in his salon. -- Follow him on Periscope to get the latest info on everything new in Wen (new products, new unscented line, new fragrance, etc.)... and then please share this info with the rest of us. -- There's more information on how to access these videos in the periscope thread.

 

  

Periodically I'll include the Key Wen links listing (see below) as a footer when I'm posting. These are just links to threads that I think Wenners -- especially new Wenners --might find helpful and I update them regularly. I've bolded the ones I think are the most useful. 

 

Enjoy your time in the Wen forum!! Smiley Happy We're a friendly bunch of people with great Wen hair: great hair days just make everything feel better!! Smiley Wink Please join in the fun!!! Smiley Happy

 

Additionally, the Wen FAQ - the key Wen links and Wen 101 threads have a lot of general information about Wen. -- The Wen FAQ is shorter and more streamlined, while Wen 101 is more comprehensive but takes more time to look through.

 

Have a wenderful day!!! Smiley Happy

Just putting it out there, that the packaging for the Light EDP sample says it will be available Sept 3rd and to "tune in" for it. I didn't follow the fragrance release dates this last year so I don't know if any of them went up on QVC prior to a scheduled visit. I do remember seeing some posts about EDPs being up on the salon website before there were on QVC.

Happy July everyone!  Thanks @bebe777 for starting the month off with all this up to date info,  it's my Birthday month and it's also Chaz's (I think this is a big one for him if I'm not mistaken),  well the drought has begun and it's going to be a real tough couple of months,  waiting for hints about the Fall seasonal, we all know Chaz can't keep a secret for too long. Lol looking forward to seeing the Team back with Jeff and Gage in July.  Have a fun safe 4th everyone!

I'm disappointed no WCM because I didn't try it yet ( my hair wasn't liking the seasonals so I skipped it), since I found out my hair does like the new seasonal formula I wanted to try it. 

 

I've really tried over the last year or two to just stick with the CCs that I know my hair likes and not buy everything and have to figure out a way to use it up. I do think the scent of WCM would be one I'd love. WWC not so much.

Hi @jaxs mom, and thanks for sharing this information. 

 

On the other thread, you had mentioned that possibly these info cards were packed into the gallons before the Wen Fall TSV date was possibly changed, and I thought that was a great point. 

 

On periscope last fall, Chaz mentioned that his usual Fall TSV date was generally the Labor Day Saturday. -- I checked the calendar and September 3rd is that Labor Day Saturday... so I'm thinking that the Wen Fall TSV date may have been changed after the Wen gallons boxes had been packed. If that's the case, then it would have been too late to change that EDP availability info card.

 

I don't follow the EDP releases that closely, but I think you're right that the EDPs have generally been available at Chaz's site before they were available at QVC. -- I think that Chaz has always launched new EDPs when he was at QVC. Usually (maybe always) these EDPs have been launched with an ODO. Smiley Happy

 

Chaz's EDP line seems really close to his heart, so I think he'll want to launch Light EDP personally at QVC when he comes back for the September 23rd TSV. Smiley Happy

 

@jaxs mom, lol, I get the feeling that you really like Chaz's New EDP - Light Smiley Wink

I didn't say anything about the TSV date being changed or that the release date was tied to the TSV date. I don't have that info. I only said that obviously the card was printed months ago. That's just the way manufacturing works.

@jaxs mom Unless you just really love minty fragrances, you are not really missing anything. WCM is probably the one scent I could have been ok without trying. I gave in to the retirement hype and purchased the OTO 3 CC plus comb. I washed with it a few times and let my son use the rest of my open bottle and gave him another. I have 1 bottle left that I stashed for next winter that I will end up mixing with something else. The scent for me was underwhelming. It is like a tart cranberry minty gum type scent. It was just ok. I wished I had purchased that set in WVM instead.

Good beautiful July 1st  morning everyone!  Thank you @bebe777 for starting

this July Chat.  Happy early 4th of July!

 

To start off, @bebe777 and @sonechko, I really had some good laughs with 

the two of you.  PETA, snails and frog legs.  

 

Bye bye free shipping, it was nice having you around.  You were like a family
